Hi, OS : Debian 10.2 CPU : i7 8700 ![plextransiocde](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/3/6/36be22eead800df138d1665b2bd3a1fd87233b99.png) I’m experimenting some little freezes - about 5s to 10s with Plex loader above video - (one freeze every 5 minutes using desktop pc, one freeze every minutes using Mi Box 3) CPU charge is less than 20% If I turn off hardware acceleration in Plex settings, I do not have freeze anymore but my CPU charge increases to about 80%. Is anyone experimenting this issue? I read some log files but I can’t find relevant information. Thanks. ---
